Gomes Not Going Home... Yet

Alexandre Gomes, the first Brazilian to win a bracelet (in Event #48, $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em just a few days ago), was in rough shape. He was all in against one player in a classic race--his {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} against his opponent's {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds}. The flop {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs} made a set for Gomes' opponent but also gave Gomes an inside straight draw. The turn and river {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs} made a runner-runner flush for Gomes to double him up to 24,000.
